8. Tar Man - Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Tar Man was the strangest and scariest Zombie I'd ever seen when I first watched Return of the Living Dead on VHS. Not only does he look absolutely terrifying with his skin hanging off his body but the way he moves and the noises he makes are simply mortifying. Gone was the age old aesthetic of a shuffling old dude in half a suit ala Night of the Living Dead replaced by this absolute monstrosity. Return of the Living Dead is an absolute genre bender in itself so it's unsurprising that one of the series creations made it onto this list but Tar Man is head and shoulders above the rest - even more so than the naked bald Zombie who simply will not die. So iconic is this character that action figures and busts were created in his likeness, not bad for a B-Movie creation.
